Bee Sampler Blocks

In anticipation of our bright sampler quilt at Bee Blessed I've been having fun trying out a few blocks -


This is an upscaled version of the Streak of Lightning block from the Farmer's Wife sampler.

This one is one of the In Colour Order Blocks of the Month - tutorial is spot on, but I opted to try the alternative method of making HSTs and it resulted in lots of bias edges which mean that this block looks lovely but it changes size every time I measure it!

And this one was just me having a play with my teeny Soul Blossom leftovers.

And, just to let you see my finished Welcome Wallhanging from class, here's a couple of pic -


Close up of my fimo buttons - made 'em myself!


just need to invest in a decent hanger for it and get it on the wall permanently.

  7. Your sampler blocks would make a beautiful quilt in their own right! Maybe I should just put all your blocks into the quilt! At least then they'll all match! LOL!
